At a nieeting of journeymen bakers last week m Ohrißtohurch 13 loaves of bread from as many establishments wore weighed with tho following results : — A.— Charge £d fulL weight. ' B.— Charge 5d full weight. C. — Charge od full weight. D.— Charge 3d lor short. H.— Charge 5d and (id loz short. F. — Chargo 4d and 5d 2oz short. Q-.— Charge 5d and 6d joz short. H.— Chargo 4i.i 2oz short. I.— Charge 4id Zoz short. J.— Chargo 4id and 6d 3oz ohort. K.— Chargo 41 2Joz short. I/.— Chorgo 3 id and 5d 4oz short. M.— Charge 4.1 and scl 2Joz short. A significant fact, from tho operatives' point of view Ceays tho Press), is that tho three bakers whoso, leaves were full weight are among those who are willing to pay the log prices. They already deal fairly with tho public, and aro willing to deal fairly with tho men. Another point wl.ieh should not bo loet Bight of by tho public is the comparison botweon the weights and tho ipriceß. It is evident that a low price doss not alwayß mean a really cheap loaf. The eamo principle has doubtless been discovered by " bargainhunters " a 3 prevailing m other walks of lifo.
